Mastering the Flare Knife in Freedom Wars Remastered

Freedom Wars Remastered throws players into intense battles against formidable Abductors. Utilizing every tool is key to victory, and the Flare Knife is a powerful asset. This guide details how to acquire and effectively use this combat item.

Obtaining the Flare Knife

The Flare Knife is surprisingly accessible early in the game. After achieving Level 003 Code Clearance, visit Zakka in The Warren. Purchase the Flare Knife for 3,000 Entitlement Points from their inventory. Equip it via the Loadout menu in the Personal Responsibility Portal, selecting an available Combat Item slot.

Utilizing the Flare Knife

The Flare Knife is a reusable item specifically designed for severing Abductor limbs. This is beneficial for players favoring Polearms or Heavy Melee weapons, offering a limb-severing option without needing Light Melee weapons. However, remember it's a single-use item per operation; repurchase is necessary for subsequent missions.

To use it, lock onto a severable Abductor part. Use your Thorn to grapple onto the target area. With the Flare Knife equipped, a severing option will appear. A quick-time event (QTE) will initiate, requiring rapid button presses to successfully sever the limb. Be aware that Abductors may attempt to interrupt the process by leaping or crashing.

Cooperative play enhances the Flare Knife's effectiveness. Teaming up allows for repeated snares, significantly simplifying the severing process.
